A UN court has convicted Theoneste Bagosora for organizing the 1994 Rwandan genocide that claimed more than 500,000 lives. The court said that Bagosora distributed weapons and directed Hutu soldiers and the notorious Interahamwe militia to kill Tutsis and moderate Hutus. He was sentenced to life in prison. The Takeaway is joined by Peter Greste, BBC East Africa correspondent, who has been monitoring the trials from Nairobi.
